The LA Rams needed running back depth and found a surprising prospect after the 2020 NFL Draft concluded. Southern Methodist University running back Xavier Jones was not invited to the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine. That surprised many because he ran for over 1,200 yards in his senior season, and added another 90 yards in the air. But perhaps even more astonishing was the fact that the NFL invitation committee did not invite the player who held the NCAA scoring record for 2019 by scoring 11.9 points per game. Even more surprising, he was a running back.
